David Krauss, 56, and his son Nicholas Krauss, 32, maintained they didn’t attack police, didn’t destroy property, entered the Capitol for less than 20 minutes, and left as soon as they were told to.
Broadly, the judges have concluded that the Jan. 6, 2021, assault on Congress was a historic attack on the nation’s government — one that left scores of officers injured, caused more than $3 million in damage, and threatened the peaceful transfer of presidential power as lawmakers gathered to certify President Joe Biden’s victory.
The Krausses, who manage their own rental property company with over 40 properties in South Jersey, traveled to Washington on Jan. 6 with a friend — Russell Dodge Jr., 44, of Pedricktown, N.J. — to attend a rally in support of Trump near the Washington Monument. David and Nicholas Krauss would later tell investigators that they tried to deter rioters who were destroying property.
For instance, the defense lawyer noted, nearly 1,200 people were arrested during demonstrations that occasionally interrupted the 2018 Senate confirmation hearings of U.S. Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh. Only one faced federal charges.
